A Sweet Farewell to Our Beloved Hosts in the North

Boy, has he got something to prove

Shameful

I did it!

Rotorua: The Extreme Sports Capital of NZ

No zorbing but some monkey bars, luging and emu (not emo) fun.

Kauri Forest

Here are some shots of the magnificent Kauri trees. These trees grow wider than any other tree on earth and are only found in New Zealand. However, your more likely to enjoy a relaxing hot tub made from Kauri wood in Japan then see one growing in the wild. How many times can you spot Wicket?

Watch this Movie. It's made in NZ and it's very good. And it's Jemaine.

Other things Pertaining to New Zealand

I saw this three weeks ago in the context of Woody Allen's "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex * But Were Afraid to Ask" and, honestly, I have thought about everyday since. Impressive comedy.

Animal Farm

Here we are in Auckland meeting farm animals. Kathy and Larry own a petting zoo called "Old McDonald's Farm" (I know, I thought that would have been copyright protected by now too, but apparently not). They let us stay with them last time we came to New Zealand and it was fun to catch up with them and play on their farm.
